Summer Photography

I took this photo at a university open day where I decided to find older models. I used a side shot to capture his entire outfit and highlight his fashion. I also decided to have him looking away from the camera and focused on something else (his phone) to give the idea that he wasn't really trying to model. I am planning on using it to target the older part of my target audience (university students) in my contents page/website. I feel it directly links to both music and fashion for my brand.

 This is a photo which I was planning on doing in the rain. This was taken as a festival back up clothing photo in case of rain, so a more bleak setting would make the coat stand out even more. However, I feel the picture came across as more studio like because of the weather. In this photo I am not a fan of the brick background, and I am planning on removing the background in my editing process.

 This photo was take in a field near my house, I felt like this setting is very good for a festival setting - while not being an actual festival. This image presents the representation of power because of the low angle shot and eye contact from the model. When looking at the photos afterwards I felt it would work very well on my website.

 This was also taken on the university open day. I took a side shot of a band as the front shots wouldn't give me as much emotion from the models as well as letting me see all of the band. Although the photo came out a bit blurry in some places, I can sharpen up the photo later in editing.

This photo uses the same model as my earlier photo however I decided to give her some headphones and gave her a denim jacket to wear. This makes the photo come across giving more of a relaxed portrayal as well as a direct music focus. I also decided to have her sitting down to make it more relaxed as well.






Just before the summer, I created a plan for which photos I wanted to take and what they're purpose on my magazine was. I then followed this plan in most photos which I took, however there was some difficulties and changes to this plan throughout the summer. Because of the busyness of some people inside of the summer, including holidays, work, etc, this limited my availability for group photos significantly. But with me being back at school I can now focus on this types of picture over any others to prepare for my website work. Another hindrance was that I was planning on doing a "wet/rainy" section in my magazine, and for that I wanted some pictures of my models in the rain. Because of the hot summer, this has delayed me taking these types of pictures, however on this days I still managed to adapt and take some inside shots as well as general fashion shots. Over the summer I ended up taking more female shots than male shots, this is because of time clashes with m preferred/wanted models. To get around this, I have organised a photo shoot with multiple male models to take place on the 14th September.
